Win You Over (Bxb)

Chapter 12. With good, Comes bad

Monday came all too soon. It was still raining out and Damon had to go home last night. His parents we're sending him something and he has to get all of his school shit. I sat in my first period astronomy class listening to the teacher grone on and on about the meteor that was going to hit us, but didn't. My phone buzzed and I looked at it really quick.

Damon: I wanna go to bed 😭 I might just fall asleep during this presentation.

Roman: Don't lol we need this grade. Tell you what if you dont fall asleep and we pass I'll take you out.

Damon:............where? Will this place have food? Cause if there is food you know I'll go.

Roman: lol yes there will be food.

I tucked my phone back in to my pocket as the bell rang and slowly everyone started fieling out.

Mr.Chase's class came all to soon and we sat in our pairs listening to him explain the order people were going to go in. Looked like we were only going to get half done today and the rest tomorrow. Sadly we were still going today. He had put the order up on the board with Damon and I were going third.

The first presentation went smooth with the pair having done their project on the show Riverdale. The next was short, and not that well put together, about the movie Mulan. Up next was us.

Damon and I stood at the front of the class reading off of our papers. Telling the class how the imagery used connected with foreshadowing. The under lying themes of the movie and each peice of symbolism we came across.

We must of been up there for ten minutes before we finished and sat down. I pulled out my phone and shot Damon a text.

Roman: That wasn't so bad, so where do you want to go tonight?

Damon: Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........ Hooters.

Roman: Really?

Damon: No lol surprise me 😊

I tucked my phone away smiling wide whwn the strange girl walked in again. "Mr. Chase I'm sorry to interrupt but this is for Damon." I peeked over at his face and watched it turn from happy to pissed off just by looking at her. What is she to him?

Luckily school finished quick and I waited for Damon out front. He finally showed up head hung low. "Whats wrong?"

He held up the slip Molly had handed to Mr.Chase. another notice to go see the counselor. "If you are willing to wait about twenty minutes then I'll meet you at your car." I nodded, as Damon turned away I pulled him back to me and placed a small kiss on his forehead. "I'll be waiting." He blushed and smiled. Before walking away.

Damon's POV:

I sat in the counselors office for the second time in silence. Mr.Smith kept his eyes on me taping his pencile. "Still not going to say anything?" I shook my head and he let out a sigh. "Why? Why do you decide to stay quiet instead of telling what you know and helping us?"

I sucked in a breath before meeting his eyes with a serious tone. "Because I know that it would only get worse if they are caught. Plus I'm not going to tell you anything I dont know, and I already told you what I do know. If you really want to know more look at the cameras around the south wing bathrooms." I stood up and walked out of the room towards the front of the school.

I met up with Roman out front and hopped in his car. "Can we just swing by my house so i can get changed?" Roman looked at me with soft blue eyes. "Sure Sweet cheeks."

My face flushed as we went our our way to my house. Once we arrived I saw a package sotting out front. Yes! It came! Quicky I hopped out and opened it up seeing a t-shirt and small statue of the vatican. There was a post card in there tok that was a picture of them in their hotel and it said: Thinking of you always. We love you Damon and we will be home soon.

I set everything back in a quickly got changed into a pair of blue jeans and a black v neck shirt. I took a look at my chest in the mirror, the bruises we gone for the most part. Not all though, some were still a deep purple and yellow. My lip was mostly healed, and my eye wasn't black and blue anymore.

I stepped outside and back in to Romans car where he did the same thing and checked my bruies. Sadness filled his eyes but soon was replaced by excitment for dinner.

We drove for a while before he pulled in to the front of a small italian resturant. "No one here knows us here, we dont have to worry." I smiled at his words as we hopped out of his car in to the quaint resturant.

We sat there talking getting to know each other better. I told him about parents and their work that takes them everywhere. He told me about his family and how his cousisns are a riot but his aunts and uncles were pretty stuck up.

We laughed and talked, and I felt happy to be here with him. I am still scared but I think this will work.

As the night went on we finished our food and we went back to his house.

His father was sitting on the living room couch watching Fallon when we walked in. "Welcome back you two. How was dinner?" My face flushed and butterflies went in to my stomach. "I take that as good." Roman patted my back before smiling down at me. "Head on up I'll be there in a few."

I headed towards the stairs and up to Romans room when Ryan came out. "Well well, look who's back. Have fun on your date?" I smiled up at him and replied. "Actually, yes. I did have fun." Stepping in to Romans room my phone started buzzing and an unknown number popped up. I just ignored it.

Roman stepped in to the room as I tossed the busted thing on the floor. "Not gonna answer?" Shrugging i sat on the bed, "I dont know the number plus if its important they will leave a message." He flopped down next to me pulling me with him. We laid there for a minute before Roman pulled me close placing a small kiss on my lips.

I leaned back in for another kiss which surprised him but didn't argue it. I felt his arm slide around my waist and hold me close. My arms made their way around his neck as our kiss grew deeper. Romans tongue ran across my bottom lip asking for entrance.

I granted access and soon our tongues danced around one another's. I felt Romans cold hands travle up my back causeing me to suck.in a breath. We pulled away from eachother panting some. His eyes scaning my face to make sure I was alright before placing a kiss on my forhead.

We laid there for just a bit longer before my phone lit up again with the same unknown number. "Gonna answer this time?" I groaned and picked it up off the floor not to thrilled to answer it.

"Hello?........speaking." I listened on the phone as a man came through the other line. My eyes grew wide at his words and I turned on the news on Romans tv. There had been a terrorist attack at the hotel my parents were staying at early today, they didn't make it out alive. The man finished with him telling me they will be sending me their things with in the next week before hanging up.

My hand dropped to my side as Roman asked me what was wrong. My ears started ringing and my vision blurred. It felt as though I couldn't breath and my heart was about to jump out of my chest. No, just no, this isn't real. This can't be real.

The news listed off all the names of the victims over the age of 18 and at the bottom were my parents. Silvia and Jason Emmerson. "I have to go."

"Whats wrong?" Roman grabbed my shoulders but I shooed him away. "I have to go!" Leaving my things I raced out of his room and out his front door. I began to run down the road tears blurring my vision and no matter how many I wiped away more came.

I don't know where I was going my feet just flew. I ran for what felt like minutes but turned out to be an hour. I turned down a dirt path and soon came out to a dimly lit green area with an ornate lions head foutiane. My legs finally gave out on me as I crumpled down and began to sob. They are gone, they really are gone.

I couldn't control the tears they just kept flowing. The more I tried the more that came. I didnt get to tell them how greatful I am for everything they have done. No more phone calls, family dinners, no more seeing them. I didnt even get to tell the about Roman and how safe he makes me feel. Or how much i care for him. Gone. It's all gone!

Little short but awww Damon 😱😢 something good happenes then his world crashes down.
